There’s access to the woods through a field, and it was 20mins walk to the start of the event. Really nice cafe afterwards, with a discount on the day if you show your parkrun barcode. Google Maps shows a route along the main road into the woods and the event, which would be quite a longer to get there. The permitted route via the field from the campsite is quicker. The site itself has eHU pitches for 7 or 8 vehicles, which is what we used. Plus a large field for other vehicles or large tents, and another field that seemed to be for smaller tents.

Very easy access to Cardiff city centre as well. A flat as a pancake course that attracts about 800 participants.

When we move to our summer course (any week now) you'll be able to watch us setting up the finish funnel etc from your tent/van and will be able to hear the first timers welcome from there too. We are on the winter course still at the moment so it's approximately a 30 second walk to there At times Anglian Water also have open water swimming in the reservoir and there is also cycle hire and a cycle track all round the reservoir. Fetchie tourists always welcome! Nice cafe there too! anglianwaterparks.co.uk
